[OPEN] fuck timelines

[flowerclips]

[ after fucking off from the dungeon, leaving the daitengu all alone and sad (invite them too, guys :'( ), it's time to have fun. at whatever agreed upon time, the ou hirajiro gang is here to finally get some good r&r. rei has been extremely excited so she's early in front of the bathhouse, holding a bag of her belongings. she waves down anyone she sees. come faster!! let's get this show on the road! ]

Bathhouse time, hoooooo!!

[ for things in the bathhouse, there are your usual spa options: a sauna, jacuzzi, pedicures, manicures, that kind of stuff. have fun, everyone. ]

[ 45 was mostly in the background for the meeting, and there's no way she would pass up on something like this when the entrance fee is paid for. She also wanted to mess around and brought Jiro with a rope. Yeah.

I) You might find her in the women's bath with her arms crossed on the edge and resting her head on it. She has her hair tied in a messy bun and Malphas is next to her with a towel on his head, also enjoying the warmth of the water.

II) Regardless of your gender, 45 is gonna grab you by the arm and drag you over to the spa area. Let's get pampered. Today we live like royalty.

Or toss me some other scenario. ]

[reveilation]

[ 45 really just lassoed Jiro and dragged him in, huh?

Kido's glad to see that, but she's also surprised to see Malphas here, because ??? is he allowed to be here? If she says anything, she's only going to end up making a scene because nobody else can see besides Persona users, but it's still... weird... ]

Are you enjoying this, Malphas...?

[defragment]

[ The people would only see a floating set of towels on Malphas's head... it's fine, Kido. Just relax. I was gonna have 45 sit on the blanket fort and ruin things, but here we are.

Malphas lets out a very relaxed sigh. Yeah, he's enjoying it. His mask is still on, but he's totally making this face. ]

Feeling nervous that he's here?

[reveilation]

[ A floating towel is even worse. Spa is haunted. Also if 45 sits on the blanket fort, Rei will cry and Kido will have to dismantle 45. ]

Not nervous, exactly, but it's weird. Jarring, I guess I'd say, to see him here with everybody else.

[ A bunch of naked women, and then a crow demon. It's weird, and she would be a lot more nervous if she didn't know Malphas was from 45. ]

[defragment]

It's fine, it's fine~ let him relax a bit too. He deserves it every now and then, you know?

[ Let Malphas have vacations. ]

[reveilation]

I guess...

[ She'll just warily eye Malphas, but doesn't say anything more about him being here. ]

I wonder if Nekogami would like it here. He's relaxed pretty much all the time, though, and I left the omamori in the lockers.

[ When he's not busy trying to murder Terry, Nekogami is a chill cat. He likes draping himself over Kido's shoulders and snoozing. ]

[defragment]

[ I miss seeing chill Nekogami... that's what I get for playing Terry. ]

That's too bad~ Let him come with you next time. Maybe he'll like the sauna?

[ lol ice cat and heat... ]

[reveilation]

[ Chill Nekogami will have to live on in our hearts. ]

I bet he can freeze the entire sauna.

[ Ice cat vs sauna heat? Nekogami can destroy the sauna. ]

[defragment]

But why would you? It's supposed to help make you feel good~

[ Stop destroying good things, Nekogami. ]

[reveilation]

[ Nekogami is here for destruction, not relaxation ]

Not in a sauna or hot tub, though. He's probably more like me and would rather be home. Like a lap cat.

[ She looks over at Malphas, just sitting there and enjoying the water ]

He isn't much like a crow, is he? Doesn't go chasing after shiny objects or that sort of thing?

[defragment]

Hm? He's more like half-crow, half-demon. He doesn't like shiny things much.

[ Maybe that's why he's weak against light... ]

[reveilation]

He isn't much like a demon either, especially seeing him in the water like this.

[ It's weird seeing Personas just hanging out, in general. It's not like they're pets, and she thinks they're different from Shadows who are like their other selves, in that a Persona comes from you, but is not a part of you. Not really.

She rubs her hands together underwater, but they're still cool, not warm at all. ]

The other two couldn't make it? Or were they not invited...

[ They were sort of just making plans in the dungeon, but 45 is the only Attendant that really goes there with the rest of them, so maybe nobody told Minato and Souji. That's kind of sad. ]

[defragment]

Hm? I left a note on their fridge that there's a bathhouse party, but maybe they're busy with their own things? Besides, humans can be worse than demons, so it's not like they're all bad. Malphas is a good boy.

[ Not her problem if they don't see the note. ]

[ rei is being dragged and she does nothing to stop being pulled along by this person that she actually hasn't spoken to yet. she has a pretzel in her hand and mouth while she's being pulled to the spa. ]

Where are we going?

[defragment]

[ That better be a real pretzel or Terry's gonna be livid... ]

We're going to get pampered, be treated like royals!

[ Get treated like the princess you always wanted to be, Rei. ]

[flowerclips]

[ well, toki did take pretzel-shaped soap to give to rei later... ]

Like royals?! You mean like princesses?!

[ what a dream come true. ]

[defragment]

[ i can't believe rei is gonna eat soap and die ]

Totally like a princess.

[ Rei's excitement is great for 45, which makes it easier for her to pull her into the spa. ]

We're going to get our manipedi first. You'll have beautiful hands and feet.

[flowerclips]

[ terry exploding isn't the real reason why she went catatonic. it's because she ate soap and it took a few days to finally kick in. ]

Just like a real princess!

[ she will inhale her pretzel before willing following 45 into the spa. she's ready for her pampering. ]

Do we can get a crown at the very end?

[defragment]

[ Food has absolutely betrayed Rei. ]

If you ask them, I bet you can get a flower crown! It's much prettier and suits you better anyway~ Princesses look better with flower crowns.

[ Ha.

She sits down and lets the workers start working on their hands. ]

[flowerclips]

[ you can tell that niko is a shadow when she just burns food without a second glance. ]

Ehehe, then let's get flower crowns and be matching princesses.

[ sisters with kido, princesses with 45. in the meanwhile, she's getting her manicure and this is a very new sensation. ]

Oh, this feels kind of funny. Have you done this before?

[defragment]

Sure, I have~

[ No, she didn't. The closest thing she did was having hand repairs, but still. This is the kind of luxurious life that she wants. ]

What colors do you want? We're getting gel UV nails done. Pick a color or a design.

[flowerclips]

Oh! You can get designs for your nails?

[ she has seen painted nails on the nurses, but never designs. this is so rad. ]

Can I get flowers on mine?

[defragment]

Absolutely~

[ The one working on Rei's manicure starts coating the base along with whatever colors Rei wants. She's asking Rei every now and then, like what color does she want the petals to be, does she want a gradient, etc. ]

[flowerclips]

[ this is the best. now i'm just imagining pom rei with nice flowerly claws if this took place before she turned in a dog. she is very happy and she tries to lean over to see what 45 has chosen. ]

What are you getting?

[defragment]

A galaxy. Simple, yet beautiful, don't you think~? So many stars that shine in the sky...
